If you've been struggling with acne, you know that not all makeup will help you look and feel your best. If you want to completely cover up the day's acne scars, you will need matte, full-coverage and long-lasting products. Instead of applying makeup to your face, try applying foundation, concealer and loose powder to your skin for a smooth, even coverage. Combine these products and techniques with color correcting lotions and scar filler products to instantly conceal your scars.
1.Match your makeup to your skin tone.
A close match between concealer, foundation and skin tone will give you the most natural look. Look at the inside of your wrist in natural light to determine if your undertones are warm, neutral or cool. Visit a beauty store to try a variety of products that are designed to cater to your skin tone and undertones.
2.Choose frosted concealers, liquid foundations and setting powders.
Makeup products that create a matte finish will visually soften and smooth the texture of your skin. Don't use dewy, luminous foundations and powders on your entire face, as these products tend to emphasize your skin's texture.
3.Pick products that are labeled as non-comedogenic or oil-free.
Unfortunately, some cosmetics and skin care products can clog your pores, which can make your acne worse. Read the labels of the products you choose and make sure they say they are non-comedogenic or oil-free. This means they shouldn't clog your pores.
4.Choose lightweight, blendable, full-coverage products.
Full-coverage cosmetics are desirable because they will create an even canvas of color on your face. This will make any indentations less noticeable. Look for a full-coverage product that still feels light and concealable on your skin. Products with moisturizing or emollient properties will blend well without leaving a dry, caked-on residue.
